Sounds like this person is making accusations based on speculation and conjecture, Naughty boy you should make sure you have all the fact before calling some.
Don't know if anyone's read the description it say Approved by the 501st and TK-51110, Which is not true but they are using the TK ID of a fallen member to sell there rubbish.

Yeah I realise it's not the correct scope, But finding a M38 is hard but also finding one that isn't being sold at a massively inflated price is hard also.
These are the scopes I have to work with and make do with.
Top-M40a2
middle-M47a2
Bottom-M77c
Well I thought I would bite the bullet and give it a go to build my first E-11 blaster,
I started off with a Metal barrel, Doopy Doo kit, M40 scope, sterling folding stock, Metal trigger guard.
And my first attempt at a metal scope rail.
Hopefully no new people buy these.

I total agree but we just waste our breath these people will either ignore us and continue or go under ground and still sell it. the legion needs to back us and take an offical stance against any member proven to be recasting someone elses work we need to protect our vendors like TM,ATA,AP .
I really don't know why we continue to flog this dead horse and I don't like recasting either but the legion has no offical stance on it and wont get involved, recasting will continue to happen regardless if we get our panty's in a bunch or not.
I know it's an issue people feel deeply about but all we can hope to do is infom newbie and current members to avoid these sellers,but as we know people will buy regardless.
So until the legion makes some offical policy on recasting threads like these are ignored by those who recast the brillant work of others..
